Highmounts and rearsets
Well since the forum went down I finally got the jardine highmounts I had thought about for months. I think they're just as loud as the D&D's but like the look and the sound better. One unexpected side effect is that they cut in on my foot room. They're okay for riding, but when I go to stand on the pegs going over railrod tracks and what not I end up with my heals on the mid pipes. I can get heat sheild so I don't scuff them anyway.
My question is have I eliminated my potential for rearsets by using these pipes? Does anyone have highmounts and rearsets? If you do, do you still have room for your feet?

LeoVinci includes 110mm bolts and long aluminum spacers with their high mount systems that allow the passenger pegs to remain on the bike. Unfortunately, they don't sell the parts by themselves. You can spend $60 or so on a "spare parts" bag that Leo makes available, but that's a lot for just a couple bolts and spacers.
Find somebody local to machine some 110mm aluminum spacers and buy 4 bolts to match. That should make plenty of space to bolt on the stock passenger pegs.

Thanks for the input, but I'm asking about rearsets. I ment like the Coerce ones that set your feet further back. I tend to hit my heels on the midpipes now that I've got the highmounts. Jardines came with the spacers and everything for the rear pegs, but I haven't tried them out yet.

I had highmount Jardine pipes and Harris rearsets, if you have heat shields you'll get used to it. I melted a pair of Oxtar boots on the bike at a track day because I didn't have heat shields, (I had this burning feeling on my feet 
), but it wasn't a problem riding it that way.

I have high mounts and sise 13 feet. what I ended up doing was have a wielder make the mid pipe longer so my feet would fit even when I'm on my toes. mine don't look to pretty as I wasn't worryed about looks on the race bike but he said they could be poished if I wanted them to be. I'll try and put a pic up later.
